FTP login incorrect when user specified
Dear Linux Experts, what might be the reason for the following behaviour of FTP when trying to log into my Linux device: the client shows 'connected to 134.2.4.8' but after specifying the user and the CORRECT password, it shows: '530 Login incorrect. Login failed' It can't be a problem of the hosts.allow and hosts.deny class i presume ? gg - gunfried geiger, institut museum fuer geologie und palaeontologie sigwartstrasse 10, D-72076 tuebingen phone +49-7071-29-72492 fax 6990 email: --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (NOTE the double g) --- Free Spirit Free Tibet Free China -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

However, ftp denies normal users the ability to log in if their username is listed in /etc/ftpusers, or if the user has a non-standard shell. (A shell is considered non-standard if it's not listed in /etc/shells). Could either of these be the case? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If hosts.allow/hosts.deny were preventing you you'd never get a login prompt. gunfried geiger wrote: Dear Linux Experts, what might be the reason for the following behaviour of FTP when trying to log into my Linux device: the client shows 'connected to 134.2.4.8' but after specifying the user and the CORRECT password, it shows: '530 Login incorrect.

Could either of these be the case? thanks for the hint (and for those of other people too) i checked both and found: denied are root, uucp, news allowed are /bin/sh bash tcsh csh and i use tcsh, but now also tried sh - no success but: previously (months ago, before an update of some packages may be, as Tom Sailer suspects) everything worked well ? gg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
